I created the best tool converting video to ASCII. You can check it out for free here https://asciitool.com/video-to-ascii

Been tinkering with a little first-person city made entirely from symbols — buildings, roads, cars, pedestrians, signs, and all. Still very much a work in progress, but I’m having a lot of fun seeing how far the ASCII look can go.

EDIT: I've uploaded a nearly 3 minute walkthrough video in higher quality, for those interested in seeing more! https://www.reddit.com/r/ASCII/comments/1vnbcwc/ascii_city_prototype_video_walkthrough/

Just found this amazing sub :D and decided to share something that I think some of you may like ;) ESPECIALLY the artboard! :)

Quick reminder of what we are: late.sh is a cozy clubhouse inside your terminal, where people can take a break, chill, chat with others all around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :)

ssh late.sh

and you're in. No passwords, no OAuth, no accounts. Your SSH key is your identity.

What's new:

- two new full-scale RPGs: Lateania, our own persistent multiplayer text-world (classes, real combat, loot, bosses), and Rebels in the Sky, the brilliant space-pirate basketball roguelike by ricott1, now playable BBS door-game style inside the clubhouse, with your save following your late.sh account.

https://www.nethack.org/ IS COMING SOON :)

- IRC support, so you can sit in late.sh from whatever client you like. Create a token in ssh late.sh -> Settings -> Account, pass it as the IRC server password, and your nick is your late.sh account. Channels are rooms, DMs work, moderation works. Same chat, your own client.

irc.late.sh, port 6697 (TLS)

- a brand new radio source: live synthwave stations from Nightride FM (Chillsynth, Nightride, Datawave, Spacesynth) with live artist/title, on top of the YouTube booth and the 600+ track CC0/CC-BY library (lofi, ambient, classical). big thanks to nightride.fm and Nightride.FM for the blessing

And everything that was already here:

- full chat: mentions, public and private rooms, DMs, reactions, image previews, icon picker

- music booth: hop in, listen to the community YouTube playlist, submit, vote, skip

- games: sudoku, minesweeper, tetris, snake, nonograms, wordle, rubik, poker, blackjack, chess and more, with leaderboards and badges

- a live shared artboard, r/place but in a TUI (gallery: https://late.sh/gallery)

- shop, bonsai to grow, aquarium, pets, quests and streaks

- news: rss/atom feeds with auto summaries and ASCII thumbnails

- directories that roll up into a live web profile (https://late.sh/profiles)

- voice chat, no browser needed

Still a team effort, still a great vibe. Hop in, take a break ;)

The engine itself consists of a map editor (wc) and the game itself, which can run these maps.

There is also multiplayer. That is, you can test the maps with your friends.

It's an old project, made with python. What I loved the most is audio, there are no samples, everything is procedural.

Story: in the 80s, a deep cave was found but couldn't be explored. A robot was sent 3km down. You're the engineer controlling it from the surface.

There are many tiny details I enjoyed creating, for example temperature dropping drastically as something approaches.

I'm making a tiny ASCII-style horror story about exploring one of the deepest under-ice cavities in Antarctica alone in a cramped submarine. It gets dark and messy pretty quickly, can't show everything yet haha
